Electromechanical systems are increasingly central to todays world.<br/><br/>This multidisciplinary field will only become more important in meeting the needs of our future society.<br/><br/>Electromechanical engineers work on everything from energy generation and hybrid vehicles to aircraft design and satellite technology.<br/><br/>Here at Edinburgh, we have particular specialisms in:<br/><br/><br/>* carbon capture <br/><br/><br/>* materials science and engineering (including polymers and the mechanics of snow and ice) <br/><br/><br/>* engineering at the interface with biology and medicine<br/><br/><br/>We also have strengths in renewable energy, including marine energy. This was pioneered here by Professor Stephen Salter, inventor of the Salter’s Duck in the 1970s.<br/><br/>Our world-class research activities strongly enhance our teaching.<br/><br/>As a student, you will have opportunities to carry out research projects in the diverse areas outlined above.<br/><br/>**Ties to industry**<br/><br/>Our Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from important industrial companies.<br/><br/>This has a strong influence on our curriculum and programme development.<br/><br/>**Why Edinburgh?**<br/><br/>You’ll benefit from research-led teaching by internationally leading academics.<br/><br/>We have strong links to industry (particularly in microelectronics) with excellent career prospects, industry relevant curriculum, internships, opportunity of final year project placements.<br/><br/>You’ll benefit from a balanced curriculum theoretical & practical skills and individual & group work.<br/><br/>You’ll have access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities including:<br/><br/><br/>* industry standard software & hardware<br/><br/><br/>* in-person and remote labs<br/><br/><br/>All our degrees are accredited by Institution of Engineering & Technology.<br/><br/>This degree gives you the flexibility to study specialist courses in areas you are most interested in. <br/><br/>**Our community**<br/><br/>We are proud of the supportive community that our students and academics create.<br/><br/>Edinburgh has a particularly active community and network of companies in fields related to electrical and mechanical engineering, which are deliberately located here, close to the talent of our graduates.
